The Closet Sketchbook

This sketchbook is a small visual representation of personal style and self-expression. I collected a sample of clothing from my own closet (as well as two other friends) and replicated the patterns with watercolor. I then built a small accordion sketchbook from these pages, allowing the book to be spread out as a sort of quilt made up of the patterns in my closet. Together, each side of the sketchbook gives a small glimpse into the personalities and style of each person.
